I have a confession...

I am the only one in my house who likes Beef Stroganoff.  But I still make it.  I have a 3-month meal plan, and I always slip in this recipe.  The cook deserves to eat what she wants!

I have often used less-expensive top sirloin in this recipe and it was still very good.

Ingredients:

1 pound beef tenderloin or boneless top loin steak, about 1 inch thick
2 Tablespoons butter
1 ½ cups beef broth
2 Tablespoons ketchup
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
8 oz. sliced fresh mushrooms (3 cups)
½ cup chopped onion (about 1 medium onion)
3 Tablespoons flour
1 cup sour cream
8 oz uncooked egg noodles (half of a 1 lb. bag)

Directions:

1.  Cook egg noodles according to package directions; drain and set aside.

2. Cut beef across grain into 1 ½ x ½-inch strips.

3.  Melt butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat.  Add beef; cook until browned.  Add mushrooms, onions, and garlic.  Cook until onions are soft and translucent, stirring occasionally.

4.  Reserve 1/3 cup of the beef broth.  Stir remaining broth and ketchup into skillet.  Heat to boiling; reduce heat to low.  Cover and simmer about 15 minutes or until beef is tender.

5.  Wisk flour into reserved broth; gradually stir into beef mixture.  Heat to boiling, stirring constantly.  Boil and stir 1 minute.  Stir in sour cream and cooked egg noodles.

Tips for Perfect Stroganoff

  • Use affordable steak cuts like top sirloin for great flavor at a lower cost.

  • Cook the onions slowly for better flavor development.

  • Temper the sour cream: Stir a spoonful of hot sauce into the sour cream before adding to prevent curdling.

  • Adjust consistency: Add broth or drippings if the sauce gets too thick after adding sour cream.

Serving Suggestions

Complement your Beef Stroganoff with:

  • Steamed veggies like broccoli or green beans

  • Garden salad anointed with balsamic vinaigrette

  • Warm biscuits or crusty bread for scooping extra sauce


This classic Beef Stroganoff brings hearty comfort and bold flavors to the dinner table with minimal fuss. Whether you're cooking for one or serving a crowd, it's a rich, satisfying meal that never goes out of style.
